Anyone Sail to the VI via Cuba?

I am reading the Passages South as we are heading to the VI from Florida Gulf Coast in October. Van Sant states that you can follow the north shore of Cuba to DR instead of going through the Bahamas. Has anyone gone this route?

I will be honest and tell you that this book is intimidating me. It looks like there is so much to learn to make the journey 'Thornless'. We draw 6' and I keep hearing of skinny waters in the Bahamas. We need to learn all this weather effect stuff and it is is mindboggling.
